One Thousand One Hundred and Sixty-Five

"Yes, yes, I know. I have never had confidence in acting, and I don't know that he is an actor with such a powerful aura. Jesus Christ, he is ten years younger than me, right? Or? Nine years old? Anyway, I thought they were similar to Jesse Eisenberg, both of them were young actors of the new generation.

What's more, when 'social network', the character played by Jesse was originally a powerful type. This time it was just a down-to-earth singer, so I naturally didn't worry too much. I always thought that the role this time should be simpler. Some. But who knew it would look like this.

I finally know now, what is the aura of acting, God, you say, how did the actors who worked with Meryl Streep and Daniel Day-Lewis persevered? "

Justin Timberlake is answering the phone, and on the other end is his new wife Jessica Biel. Even though they are separated, the two are still talking on the phone all the time, and today is no exception. At this time, Justin was sighing again and again, and even Jessica on the other end of the phone was laughing constantly.

"Don't worry today, it's my place today, I'm naturally not nervous... Haha, he said it himself, he's not a singer... Sales? My albums sell better! Yes, I'm sure! I Pretty sure! Anyway, I'm definitely not worried at all."

As he spoke, Justin lowered his voice, pushed the door and entered the building in front of him, "I'm coming in now." At the same time, his footsteps lightened slightly, and he nodded politely towards the staff next to him. Inquired, "Which studio are they in?" After being instructed, Justin said "thank you" and started walking again.

"I was fifteen minutes earlier than the scheduled time, and I now strongly doubt that I will be the only one who arrives earlier. You know, musicians have no concept of time, they are all European time, and it is nine in the morning. It's just that, it is estimated that they are still in the middle of the night. They worked until three or four in the morning last night. How could they get up at this time.

But... I still have to come over and prepare in advance.

what! Definitely not because of lack of confidence, of course not! Well, I admit, my understanding of folk music is not deep enough, please, am I a pop and jazz guy? Reggae or rhythm and blues are also slightly dabbling, but ballads? I'm not an all-rounder. "

While joking and joking, Justin's mood was completely relaxed, "I'm here. Well, I'll call you later, I love you."

Today and tomorrow, the filming of "Drunken Country Ballads" has been suspended for two days. Because the Coen brothers need to pause, the entire crew's music-related work, including the meeting of the scorer and the music producer, including the adaptation and production of the original track, including the exchange meeting between the actors and the producers.

According to Renly's previous suggestion, the chorus of LeVine and his partner Mickey needs to be listed separately, even if only as a background supplement, which is also an important part of LeVine's role.

After deliberation, the Coen brothers took Renly's advice. They decided to invite a singer to "guest" Mickey --

The reason why the cameo needs to be put in quotation marks, because this character will not appear on the scene, just exists in the soundtrack, but in the character's dialogue, he also existed real and vivid.

The special guest singer will complete the recording of "Walking Goodbye" with Renly; in addition, he will also be involved in the recording of "Ancient Trio".

The former is planned and the latter is unplanned. The reason is not complicated. In the movie, this song will be sung a cappella to highlight a series of trend-catching tricks in the wave of folk ballads. However, this kind of performance needs to be run in and trained, and the cooperation between singers is the most important thing. Yes, otherwise the live performance is likely to become a car accident.

For actors, this is undoubtedly more difficult,

The singing performance was more difficult than expected; furthermore, it was a quartet, and the level of tacit understanding between all four actors was further added to the difficulty.

After much deliberation, the Coen brothers decided to take the recording method, which will be the only track in the entire film that is not performed live.

Now that they decided on the way to use the recording, the Coen brothers came up with an idea, buried in the film's thread as a deeply hidden thread:

If Mickey and Jim participated in the re-covering and rendition of this "ancient trio", Mickey had already chosen to compromise before committing suicide, but after all, he was still unable to cross the threshold of his own heart, in a sense, intensified Contradiction became the fuse; or, Mickey did not dare to face Le Vern. In the torment of guilt and shame, depression detonated the impulse, so he chose self-termination; or there were other possibilities.

The specific settings can be completely left blank, left to the actors to taste slowly, and also to the careful audience to think slowly.

This idea was fully endorsed by Renly. On the one hand, it really enriched the different choices of the entire folk era, and even enriched the role of Le Verne in a sense; on the other hand, it was also a feature for guest singers It's a good thing to be more involved in filmmaking.

Although, this idea is too idealistic, not to mention whether the audience can recognize the voice of a specific singer through the live performance, even if they notice such details through the singer of the soundtrack, and return to the film, it is not It's hard to connect the characters to the plot all of a sudden. In other words, viewers are likely to ignore this detail completely and never discover it.

Still, the Coen brothers and Renly insisted on doing so. This kind of blank space, hidden in the movie, is actually an interesting thing, and it is left to the audience who really love this work to slowly dig out, which is also one of the joys of watching the movie.

In the next two days, the crew will focus on discussions related to music production.

As for the recording, we are not in a hurry for the time being. After the film is completed, the main actors will enter the studio to complete the recording of the original soundtrack; and the guest singer needn't worry, he can record his own soundtrack in advance, and the actors will later Then record your own soundtrack, and then you can synthesize it through the studio post-production.

Today, in addition to Justin, all the singers in the crew who need to sing live will all arrive in the studio to start today's work.

After hanging up the phone, Justin pushed open the thick door of the recording studio, but before he had time to put the phone in his pocket, he couldn't help but take a small step back, staring blankly at the lively discussion scene in front of him——

On the left hand side, three people were sitting scattered on different sofa positions, but they were sitting face-to-face around each other, each holding a guitar in their arms, sketching the strings, humming tunes softly, Or lightly beat the rhythm with the soles of the fingers and soles, completely addicted to it, and they are discussing with each other how to arrange the most suitable song.

On the right, four people stand or sit together, holding what looks like a sheet music, everyone is immersed in their own world, and they communicate from time to time, and those discussions can be captured in a few words. , "Can it be raised by half a key?" or, "Does the beat need to be slowed down by a quarter?"

The huge recording studio was full of excitement, so much so that Justin strongly suspected that he had gone to the wrong room——

When the album was recorded, it wasn't like this. It wasn't a space for musicians to work, but... the crew, this was definitely a movie crew; but the soundproof room and the recording equipment in front of me took up most of the line of sight, so it couldn't be ignored at all. , the chaotic and inconsistent visual impact made Justin stop like this.

The first thought in my head was, "I'm... late?"

On the right are Carey Mulligan, Adam Driver, Stark Sanders and Chris-Thile.

Among them, Chris Sealy is a member of Punch-Brothers and the lead singer. This is a folk independent chorus from New York. It was established in 2006 and signed with an independent label owned by Warner Bros. On average, there are works published every year, and they are constantly on tour.

This time, all five current members of the Boxing Brothers will join the production of the "Drunken Country Ballad" soundtrack. Although it was the idea of ​​Warner Bros., it was also approved by the Coen Brothers. They will be in charge of the harmony part and will also be the main vocals of the "Old Trio". But today is not the recording work, but the creation stage, so only Chris came to report.

Simply put, it's still about actors.

On the left are Renly Hall, T-Bone- and Marcus-Mumford.

If the other side is the cast, then...is this the singer?

Justin is full of question marks now, and he always feels that something is not right, but he can't say it.

According to the plan, this should be Justin's place.

The Boxing Brothers, Ben Bennett, Marcus Mumford, he is very familiar with them, especially Marcus, they met at the Grammy Awards before, and later became good friends, There are occasional phone calls; even the other two, they have both met before, even if they are not familiar with each other.

Naturally, Justin intends to take on the role of "bridge", to build a communication bridge between actors and singers, and may even need to lubricate each other's communication methods. After all, he is the only one in the entire crew who is really in both fields. Artists who have achieved some success.

Last night, Justin even made up his mind about how to introduce each other, how to cut into the topic, and how to discuss the situation, gradually mastering the initiative and the audience. The jerky and prudence in the crew in the past will be reversed today, and this is where he is at ease, and he needs to show off his abilities.

But now, did he miss something? Why does the recording studio seem so unfamiliar? Why is there a kind of embarrassment that has encountered anti-customer main?
